Volume 1 Cataclysm Chapter 12 Joke
"Let's get on the elevator." Xu Chu looked at the mess everywhere, he was not very tired, but he was a little nervous, and the hand holding the gun was a little trembling, which was a symptom of excessive adrenaline secretion and excessive muscle exertion.
Mo Xuan sat on the ground with a knife, panting, and shook his head at him and said, "Let's fill the magazine first, I'll rest for a while." β
Xu Chu nodded, and suddenly thought that Yu Cun should be allowed to come in and clear the first floor with them, so he told Mo Xuan his thoughts while pressing the order.
"No, you have to save ammunition and stamina, and after a while they may fight head-on, and it will take a lot of stamina."
"I just saw him killing zombies at the door, and I think it's the same when he comes back to kill them."
ββ¦β¦ Isn't this still saving ammunition, and when you come back after the fight, you won't have the strength to cut down zombies. β
"Won't you lose the strength to cut people?"
"If someone has a gun, his role will be relatively small - and people are easier to kill than zombies, and you shouldn't underestimate a man who can hammer his seventh-stage kendo father at the age of 16."
"Okay."
Ten minutes later, Xu Chu filled the three magazines, pressed them, adjusted the gun, and then signaled that Mo Xuan could go.
"Which room to go to?" Xu Chu asked.
"I don't know which room has a good view, let's go directly to the rooftop."
The two came to the elevator, Mo Xuan asked Xu Chu to open the elevator, and he pulled out a knife and stood in front of the elevator.
Opening the door, sure enough, two zombies were locked in the elevator, Mo Xuan hurriedly slashed sideways, but was thrown to the ground by another walking corpse, Xu Chu hurriedly ran over and kicked him away, raised a gun and killed him.
The walking corpse's mouth that had been cut off but not completely separated was constantly opening and closing, and her eyes were looking at the two of them all the time, her face had been contaminated with blood, but if you looked closely, you could find that it was actually a very beautiful girl.
"It's a pity." Mo Xuan glanced at him twice, he was attracted by his face just when he opened the door, and his hand was half a beat slower.
She fell directly into the elevator, and Mo Xuan could only drag her out by the legs, and the knife was inserted through her eyes, sending her to Elysium.
There was still the sound of wriggling bodies in the hall, and the slight sound in the quiet hall made people feel very uncomfortable.
The young woman's bite marks were on her lower back, and the elevator was covered with her spilled blood that had turned blue.
The two frowned slightly, such a bloody scene felt from TV was completely different from what was felt in reality.
Rising to the tenth floor, Xu Chu picked up his gun, preparing to deal with the "freshman welcome party" after the door opened. What I didn't expect was that there was nothing when I opened the door.
"This shop is doing so badly?" Xu Chu was a little surprised.
"Not necessarily, this is not a corridor, maybe the zombies are not wandering here, the safe passage can go up to the rooftop, it is sixty meters from the left turn out of the elevator shaft." Mo Xuan motioned to Xu Chu not to act rashly.
The two stepped out of the elevator, stepped on the carpet and quietly walked to the side of the corridor, poking out two heads, one left and one right.
Still no one.
"Nobody, action?" Xu Chu asked in a low voice.
"Will there be an ambush?" Mo Xuan was a little skeptical.
"Zombies will be ambushed, we shouldn't be alive now, right?" Xu Chu asked rhetorically.
"That's right, let's go."
The two of them slowly moved forward with the silent footwork of the special forces, but because Mo Xuan didn't hold a gun, they looked like a ninja.
After walking for a while, the two relaxed, the tenth floor was full of suites, and it was not the peak tourist season, so no one lived in.
"You Achu, your tactical moves haven't been left behind." Mo Xuan praised.
"Haha, it's okay, some simple ones haven't been forgotten." Xu Chu is very modest.
The two of them came to the rooftop and bowed their bodies. I found that the roof was planted with some vegetation and simply renovated.
"Two hundred meters is still a bit close, it may be discovered, if they bring that potted plant over, will they notice something unusual?" Mo Xuan looked at the environment and asked.
"The other side should be ordinary people, and no one will look at the sky in this situation."
"Forget it, like Sage said, this situation is not a gamble."
"You're the captain and listen to you."
Mo Xuan slowly moved to the edge of the rooftop, poked his head out to find the target building, and looked up at their windows and rooftops from top to bottom after finding the gun shop, but he didn't find any guards, and he was a little relieved. He opened his backpack and began assembling the gun, reloading the ammunition and installing the silencer device, and after roughly finding the angle, he told Xu Chu that he could go and signal to Yucun.
Xu Chu leaned over and trotted to the edge of the rooftop on the side of the park, and looked down, Yumura opened the skylight of the car, and Cui Shengzhi was looking up at it.
Xu Chu made two gestures, representing the sniper and arriving at the tactical position.
Cui Shengzhi stretched out his hand and pointed at his neck underneath, and then twisted back and forth with his fist.
Xu Chu looked dazed, only to see Cui Shengzhi lower his head and twist his neck, and leaned back on the back of the chair. Xu Chu felt speechless, thinking that it was a new instruction.
"Damn, I'm going to have my neck broken before they go up." Cui Shengzhi rubbed his neck, pulled down the window and said to the truck: "I'll go over and negotiate with them in a while, don't show your guns and don't act rashly, if the talks fall apart, just do it." β
Hood put on his angry gold-rimmed glasses again, and responded: "We didn't bring any supplies, how do you look like a robbery, I estimate that 99% of your talks will collapse, so let's just do it." β
ββ¦β¦ This, salute first and then soldier, we still have to talk about it. Cui Shengzhi was speechless for a while, a little sneering.
Hamura watched the sky outside the window getting darker and darker, and said to them, "Adapt, it's time for us to pull out." β
The two cars turned the corner one after the other and headed towards the gun shop. The truck drove to the left of the gun shop, and the sedan stopped to the right of the gun shop, giving up the entire faΓ§ade to facilitate Mo Xuan's sneak attack.
"We call this tactic, and we call it a righteous sneak attack." Hood took off his glasses and looked for the location of Mo Xuan's gun, which was a small spot and not obvious.
The front of the store is very clean, there are no or zombies, which is very abrupt in densely populated places.
Choi Sung-ji straightened his Korean-style hairstyle and hid the gun under his suit, while Hamura was generously pinned to his waist and held a blade.
Both of them are less than 1.8 meters tall, but looking at it like this, they are still quite imposing.
Choi Sung-ji walked to the front of the store, the back of the bulletproof glass was pasted with opaque sandpaper, it seems that the owner of this place also realized that zombies will go crazy after seeing people, Hood asked Scott and Venus to climb into the cargo box of the truck and crouch, he stayed in the car to be on guard.
Everything was arranged, Cui Shengzhi began to knock on the door, but what he was thinking about was what Hood said, thinking that it was better to grab it directly without any exchange items.
Yumura is holding a knife in his left hand and his right hand is behind, and he looks confident and graceful, but that hand is actually signaling Mo Xuan, which will affect his speed of drawing the knife, and he is really a little uneasy in his heart.
After knocking for a long time, someone finally knocked on the door, Hood got out of the car at the same time as he opened the door, took his shotgun, and walked to Hamura's side, half a step behind Cui Shengzhi, the usual frivolity was gone, and it looked deep and dangerous.
It was a strong black man more than two meters tall, followed by two attendants with guns, although they were attendants, but the size looked estimated to be almost two hundred pounds.
The black man's name was Martin, and he sounded very urbane, but his broken eyebrows and the scars on his swollen arms showed that this was not a good thing.
"I'm Andy Martin, who are you?" Martin asked in English only after he came out.
I'm not afraid of robbery, I'm not afraid of zombies, I just opened the door directly, which is an extremely powerful self-confidence.
Cui Shengzhi was just about to speak, Martin's eyes glanced at Hood, his cold expression softened a little, and said: "I recognize you, you are the young master of the Hood family, Claire Hood, why are you still out of the dangerous 'weather'?" What about your family? β
Hu De paused for a moment and said indifferently: "It seems that I have become an orphan." These are my friends. β
Martin nodded and tried to respond. "Your father and I have a good relationship, although there are already a lot of people here, I am still willing to take you and your two friends in, but in this world, everyone has to work, I hope you don't complain."
Cui Shengzhi found an opportunity to interject, and began by saying: "That's right, we're not here to seek refuge, I'm trying to exchange some guns and ammunition with you." β
"Guns and ammunition? Oh, this is a necessity for survival in 'bad weather', very expensive, you children, what do you want to exchange? Food, gasoline, daily necessities, everything, with this big iron rod in hand, you can easily get it done. He gestured to his men's shotguns.
Hamura looked at Choi Sung-chi, meaning whether to let him signal the to crash.
Cui Shengzhi pondered for a moment and said, "We will exchange the information with you." β
"Oh?"
"These zombies are in a terrible situation right now, they are easy to kill, but they will evolve gradually, and there may even be some mutations, and it is very dangerous for you to stick to the central part of the city." Cui Shengzhi said seriously.
"It's useless to scare me, what about the evidence?" Martin didn't quite believe it.
"It's a trade for human lives, if you don't believe it, you can see if they bite you and attack your weak spots, but in the beginning, the places they bite are random, and according to our speculation, they will gradually become smarter, and then the difficulty of survival will increase exponentially."
"It's just speculation, it's not credible, and you don't seem to know how to negotiate." Martin looked at Choi Sung-ji and smiled a little sarcastically.
Hamura's brows were furrowed, and his signature word "Chuan" gradually emerged again, and he was very similar to directly clenching his fist and letting Mo Xuan send him to God.
Cui Shengzhi felt a little brainless, but he didn't expect that he was the first to drop the chain and suffered a loss of being too young.
Hood looked at the two people next to him, and sighed in his heart that he still had to go out on his own, he stepped forward, looked directly at Martin and said, "I suggest you believe him, this is the result of the joint research of a doctor and a genius from our school." You must get out of here quickly, take your men and your supplies, and as a sign of goodwill, I can give you my manor, which has a few acres of forest, and a farm and pasture, enough for you to live there forever. β
Martin looked at the young master of the Hood family, a little surprised, he didn't expect him to promise to give away his family's manor so easily, but he was curious about where this group of people lived, but this was not the time when sympathy was overflowing, he nodded and said: "This is the right bargaining chip, so let's talk about what you want." β
"Half of the stock in your store, pick it up tomorrow, and give away a truck." Hood spoke unceremoniously.
"A truck can't hold half of the cargo, and your asking price is too high, and when we get to the manor, we still have to get guns and ammunition for ourselves, or come to the city to find supplies."
"The manor is self-sufficient, you just need to clean it up."
"Forgive me, Prince Hood, why would you give up the manor? Isn't that enough for you and your friends to live happily? Martin's eyes were sharp, as if he were interrogating.
"My family died there, I don't want to go back, and we have a nice place to stay." Hood did not back down.
Martin's expression slowly replied, and he took a deep breath and said: "One-third, plus a car, the Hood Manor tree is very popular, we need to defend against other survivors who may come, and the food in the manor will not be ripe until autumn at the earliest, these are all potential drawbacks, do you agree?" β
"Yes." Hood hadn't thought it would be half as much, but it made another condition, "But you have to include a message." β
"What do you want to know?"
"Your supplier."
"The Malid Munitions Foundry, two hundred kilometers east of the city center, can be found on the map."
"Are there any other retail outlets?"
"Atlantis' arms are strictly controlled, and no one dares to make trouble in the city."
"Okay."
The two of them reached an agreement to pick up the goods tomorrow, and Hood knew the store well, so he naturally knew how much one-third of the volume was. Just as the group was about to leave, Martin asked without a word.
"Do you have the key to the manor with you?"
Cui Shengzhi, who turned around, instantly put his hand on the gun, and Yucun also subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the knife, Mo Xuan upstairs was a little strange, he didn't know what was wrong with them when he was too far away, why was he going to leave and suddenly became tense.
Hood looked back and smiled heartily, "How is that possible? I'm not someone who thinks he's that stupid, the chips won't be on my body, and the hole cards won't be all on at once. βγ
The two men inside the cargo box of the pickup truck stood up and did not speak.
Seeing this, Martin smiled and said, "Just kidding, don't be nervous, that NH87 is very good." β
After saying that, he walked back to the store, locked the door, and everyone present broke out in a cold sweat.
